Small Business Procurement Initiative_2018.pdf

This document outlines the Small Business Procurement Initiative for 2018, issued by the Department of General Services (DGS) for the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Initiative seeks proposals from small businesses to provide a variety of goods and services to state agencies and local governments. The scope of work includes IT hardware and software, office supplies, janitorial services, landscaping, and construction trades. Respondents must submit proposals by January 15, 2018, and site visits and a bidder's conference are scheduled for December 2017. Contract awards will be announced by March 1, 2018, with an initial term of two years and three one-year renewal options.

Pricing must be firm fixed-rate, with potential set-asides for SWaM, DMBE, and other certified small businesses. The current incumbent contractors are ABC Inc., XYZ Corp, and MNO LLC. Funding for the contracts will be provided through state and local government budgets, with an estimated annual value of $5-10 million. Respondents must demonstrate financial capacity, relevant experience, and ability to meet service level agreements.
